Falling in the Dark

     Again, not the most positive poem. I wrote this one day a while ago when I was having a really hard time with one of my friends.

Falling in the dark

Falling from the light

Forgetting who I am

This dark is binding

 

Save me from this cage

Break me out today

I do not have the will to stay

 

My life is falling down

Quiet becomes a sound

I'm beginning to lose myself

 

I had the light before

I can't hold on anymore

 

Beauty is now a mess

Now all I have is less

 

I'm falling in the dark

Forgetting who I am

I've lost myself again

The other side of me is raging

 

Please pick me up again

You said you were my friend

or was it just another dream?

 

I'm sorry I'm not who

you think I ought to be

Why can't you understand?

 

I've done it all before

Now I'm lying on the floor

When will this torture end?

 

 I've tried and tried again

to be the best I can

I guess it wasn't good enough

 

Because there you go again

I thought you were my friend

 

Your knife is in my back

I give you some more slack

Then there you are again

 

I try and try to change

myself I rearrange

Yet for you it is the same

 

Can you just take me,

break me, just toss me over your head?

 

I don't want to live this lie anymore

Just throw me out and slam the door

 

It's you that caused me pain

to you went all the gain

 

Yet I continue to let you play me

 

There's selfish in your bones

I've lost all the love I've known

 

I've fallen to my knees

been begging you please

but you turn your head away

Play me a fool for one more day

 

Take me up, break me down

Throw my love for you around

 

Because you do not care

This friendship isn't fair

Yet still I ask you please...
